Method

1. This is important: strain your tuna really well. Place the tuna on a colander and allow to strain. Press with a fork to speed up the strain process. If there is any liquid left no matter how little they will fall apart.

2. Boil potato until quite soft, strain very well and mash.

3. Mix all the ingredients together until well incorporated. The potato assists to hold the patties together.

4. Form patties, and compress well to a tight Pattie.

5. Place Pattie cakes in the fridge for 1 hour. This will help the cakes hold their shape.

6. Lightly flour patties. Dust off excess.

6. Poor a drizzle of olive oil on the pan, heat and cook. Don’t flip over unless each side is crunchy and cooked well.

6. Pat dry on paper-towel.

Dill Lemon Sauce

Mix yoghurt,lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs with a small spoon.

Add to the side of your serving plate to dip the patties in or as pictured lay the patties over a thin layer of the sauce.

Tuna patties are so versatile. You could make with salmon but you can also serve with a hummus skordalia mash during the cooler weather.
